• I really did not know where anyone’s offices were and Christ you do a lot of travelling around. Google saves hundreds of hours by getting everyone to come to them.
• You get cancelled a lot. No biggie, shit happens, but you get cancelled a lot
• What I assumed would be an awesome event to attend is actually just competing with loads of awesome events to attend
• People cancel late – main thing is to cancel, even that day, but not so late you can’t find a home for the ticket, even if I bring my mum
• Learning all about restaurants in a 5min circumference from each agency
• I have competed with many, annoyed some, but overall everyone has been hugely welcoming of my new role.
• Agencies are working their socks off on pitches. Every.Single.Day.
• There is some cool shit going on in agencies, fascinating to see and hear it. One even came to tell us about it.
• I am really enjoying getting to work with all the people I used to work with but are now scattered across the industry – chance to see everyone again
• Agency chat involves a lot about offices. A lot. More even than Google and Facebook talk about theirs.
• People talk about Google and Facebook a lot.
• There are so many people I did not know but glad I am getting to know.

I have not self combusted.
